    PCR (Polymerase chain reaction)
    A method for exponentially amplifying the target DNA region by using the fact that DNA dissociates from double-stranded DNA to single-stranded DNA by heating and returns to double-stranded DNA by cooling, binding the target primer to single-stranded DNA as a template, and repeatedly performing DNA synthesis by the transcription reaction of DNA polymerase.
    Sanger sequencing
    This method uses DNA polymerase, a DNA replication enzyme, to synthesize DNA fragments whose ends correspond to specific bases, and currently uses dideoxynucleotides labeled with four different fluorescent dyes in the elongation reaction. Sequences are determined by using a capillary electrophoresis system to detect the type of fluorescent dye of dye-terminator and the length of DNA fragments, incorporated randomly in the elongation reaction from a single primer that binds specifically to the template DNA.

COMMENT


This test is intended for prostate carcinoma. Avoid freezing. Please be sure to specify you sex when making your request. Please avoid duplicate requests of other items.
With this testing method, the affects of contamination will be greater, so please be careful when collecting and handling the specimen. The number of days required may vary depending on the measurement and analytical situations.
